Visiting the orphanage




We had to go back to the orphanage to sign more papers and we took treats to the kids that are still there instead of at the camp. When we got there they were all down swimming at the pond, it was so much fun watching them!! There father teacher taught them all to swim and they were having a terrific time. It is such a pretty, relaxing setting. I can see why all the kids at the camp want to get back to their home. At camp the kids have to walk for a half hour to the lake and then they only let them swim for three minutes......they say its bad for their health to swim longer. At the orphanage they can swim and fish and explore the neighborhood. It took us a lot longer than we had planned on at the orphanage so Misha called at 6:00 wondering what had happened to us. We headed to the orphanage and had a late night disco party with the kids. I was a little embarrassed about dancing at first, but those boys are persistant! The boys had a great time finding girls for Kent to dance with. They made sure he never had an empty dance card.

Looks like we'll need to take Anastasia swimming at our nearby County Recreation Center to keep her happy. She really enjoyed swimming when she was here last October! That's great that the kids can have a pond so close to swim in. Thanks for sharing your experiences with the rest of us. The Morgans.
